What should I do if my baby sleeps during the day but not at night?

Many mothers will encounter some troubles and headaches. For example, the child always sleeps during the day, but is very energetic at night and cannot sleep at all. It can be said that this is an obvious sleep reversal. Because the child is still young, he does not know the difference between day and night. It is still necessary to find a way to adjust the biological clock. So what should I do if the baby sleeps during the day and not at night?

Many new parents will encounter the problem of their baby's sleep schedule being reversed during the day and night. The baby sleeps more during the day but has no sleepiness at night. This is a common problem because babies don’t care much about whether it is day or night. As long as they have milk, a warm bed and someone to accompany them, they will be satisfied. Anyway, it's always dark in the mother's womb, so there is no need to adapt to the different requirements of the day and night cycle.

For this reason, adults should just play with the baby as much as possible during the day, and try to wake him up when it is time to feed him. Don't think that the baby didn't sleep well at night and indulge him during the day without having the heart to wake him up. Of course, if you wake up a sleeping baby, he may become listless and have a poor appetite. But in order to change the baby's sleeping situation of day and night reversed, this is the only way. In addition, you can take your baby outdoors for a walk or play during the day to make him excited, which will help him get more sleep at night. When sleeping during the day, the room should not be too quiet and the light should be appropriately bright. Especially don't let your children go to bed after 5 pm.

At night, even if the baby is very excited, adults should try to remain calm, not talk or play with the baby too much; and make sure the baby is well fed when feeding. If the baby is not sleepy, you have to hold him in your arms, rock him slowly, and hum a song softly to help him sleep. Don't disturb him easily after he falls asleep, and don't think about feeding him. Let your baby gradually feel that daytime is fun and nighttime is boring. In this way, he can adjust his life pattern, sleeping less during the day and more at night.

The above article gives a clear introduction on what to do if the baby sleeps during the day but not at night. I hope it will be helpful to mothers. The child’s biological clock needs to be adjusted little by little. For example, play with the child more during the day to distract his attention, and he will naturally fall asleep due to tiredness at night.
